How to find lost iPad without using “Find My” app

I’m trying to locate an iPad that was misplaced or lost. It’s not on my “find my” app as if it were erased. How can I locate it for free without using the app? I already tried calling my carrier & apple & they said they couldn’t do anything to help. I guess I’m going to try to trace it through the police.

Start here:

Locate a device in Find My on iPad - Apple Support


Here is Apple’s advice for lost or stolen devices:

If your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch is lost or stolen – Apple Support

Use the Find My app to locate a lost or stolen device – Apple Support


If the Find My iPad feature was enabled prior to it being “misplaced”, then if active, you would stand a good chance of locating it. 


However, if the feature was not activated prior to being misplaced - or the iPad has been inactive or without a network connection for more than 24 hours, the last known location will not be available - and the opportunity to use technical means to recover the iPad may have been lost.
